LOL

The clearance in the rear is better then I expected. My springs sit a little higher then Remedy's do, so I have a little more clearance...which is always nice.

I was getting a little rubbing from the parking brake cables on the inside of the tires, but I just pushed them away and now they are not touching.

Since my car is silver, im biased to say they looked better on the silver; at least the way Remedy had his car set up. As for them being on your car, they look way better than my buddys Motegi SP5's (black on black car)

I don't expect to be the same or take away anything from Remedy's car. He had a great setup and he did a lot of the grunt work so that it would make putting these on my car that much easier!

Looks Nice man! Need better pics and in the sunlight. I would say that you paid too much but the michelin pilot tires are over $300 a piece.

Yeah I know I need better pictures. Those were just quick shots to please the peasants who wanted pictures on here.

As for the price....when buying a "one off" set of rims that are pretty much brand new....what else do people expect? Remedy gave me a good deal, considering he payed well over $2300 for them NEW and he only put 350 miles on them at the most. So I am not complaining about the price at all.

But Chrome, Polished, and Black with silver lip always are going to look better.

These are the black with the chrome lip correct?

******' sex man! They look SO good. The only set of rims I've seen that I actually REALLY like.

And whats the deal with getting the fender rolled? Whats that about? (noobish in the rim department)

I had to get the inner lip on the rear fenders "rolled" up and out of the way so that they won't rub on the tires when hitting a bump.

I did it myself and it took about 1.5 hours to do.

And thanks to everyone for the great compliments! I will try to get some better pictures up shortly!

Wow!! I must have blinked and missed all these posts!! The rims look right at home on your car Mike. I'm glad that you like them. I'll defenately miss them, but at the same time, I'll know that you'll do your best to take good care of them.

It will be quite a while if you see another Cobalt with the same exact set up as the ones on your car now. Trust me.
A new set of slotted or drilled rotors will compliment them real nice.

Well once the rotors and brakes need to be replaced....there will be some slotted or drilled going in place.
